When I watched the Joe Cocker band around 40 years ago they had 2 guitarist's playing Telecasters who took turns having full change overs, every other song! I expect as they were sweating so much and playing so hard that to avoid tone loss and breakages.
Pro guitarist's will change their strings before each gig, but they all have a guitar technician.
Jim, I change strings when they become dirty or lose tone. I must say that your guitar has a lovely tone even though they are several years old.
i last changed the strings on my Telecaster in October last year which is disgusting as i gig most weekends and play quite a bit in the house through the week. i promised that i would change them after new years eve...but that hasn't happened (shame face). every week i think, yes i shall change them Sunday morning, then i play them and they sound fresh and good so i think i'll give them another week! (bad boy, bad boy) i did take some time out today and changed the strings on my crafter, and they sound great Martins 11 gauge. i meant to put on D'Adario which i bought for an astonishing price from a company called "wish". 1 set normally costs £6.00, so when i got 2 sets for less than £5.00 and they look originals, who could complain? they took a while to arrive but still.....
anyone like to tell how often the change their strings?
i have now shamed myself enough and i'm off to change the Tele.
Another cracker me auld mate. In my mind I heard this as a waltz? Well done, songs full of feeling
Had a look at the link and it looks great and would suit your personality perfectly. It's not available over here like most guitars on that site, and as you say, very inexpensive. Have a great time....loud and proud
Many happy returns Scott. Have a really great day, music, love ,laughter and lots of the falling down liquid....always works for me 
you say the nicest things Jim..xxx
so very interesting, i also watched the neck repair videos that come after and i shall come back and watch again....super
musical legends like Dylan or John Denver have an aura about them which shines through even when they're not at their best, i suppose if you didn't know who they were you wouldn't have such high expectations. as for Joe Cocker i saw him about 1979 playing in Swansea he and his band were supersonic and one of the best shows i have ever seen. i also heard he was playing live in Cardiff a few years back as support to one of those one hit wonders that no one can remember now, and he was fantastic again (it was an afternoon concert) but all the kids drifted off as they only came for the "pretty boys" that were miming...what has the world come to?
If I'm right you're saying....every cloud has a silver lining. Or...roses are red violets are blue, they grow in a garden covered in poo? That's the watered down version.
we've all missed great concerts, i missed Jimmy Page and Robert Plant who turned up with a new band they were promoting in a Pendine caravan club, they got up to jam later in their set. how did i miss it? i was 50 miles away pulling the engine out my car to fix a big end knock.
so...concerts i wish i'd missed; Argent the second time they'd gigged at Llanelli. they were crap the first time and they played exactly the same set 2nd time even the rubbish jokes.
Mott the Hoople, they were awful! 10 years after were also on the bill but they pulled out last minute ggrrr!
Alexis Corner, we were expecting CCS, but we got blues all night. we had to wait till the end to see local group Man who were brill.
anyone know who CCS were and their one big hit?

ive had the scarlett 18i6 for a few years and i kept getting emails saying if i registered i'd get a load of stuff plug ins etc so i tried down loading and got nothing. not to say focusrite isnt great stuff as i got a recording studio with it which i only use for mixing and getting stuff ready for youtube or soundcloud. it took me a long time to get into it and had to have assistance which was very good and free. if you can get it then go for it
Thanks Jim, it's amazing what you can do in 10 minutes.
This was meant to go with Easy beats thread kids songs in chat.
not to be pedantic but these posts should be in either songwriting, my local band or poems. having got that out of the way i think it's a great idea. i've left my reply in poems so i don't get shouted at
obviously not my wife
The boy in the sweet shop.
There was a young boy in the sweet shop.
He looked at the chocolates and sweets.
He wished he could try just a sample.
And chew all the sweets he could eat.
For hours he stood by the window.
Dreaming how nice they would taste.
Then out of the shop came his father.
Said “hey boy, what is your game?”
The boy said “dad I was dreaming.
Of how those Smarties would taste.
One by one I would eat them.
And I swear not one I would waste.”
His father said “son I was your age.
When I ate all the sweets I could buy.
Till one day my teeth began rotting.
To the dentist I had to arrive.”
He looked at his old man's gnashers.
Top set he held in his hand.
The bottom set they were just partials.
In a glass at night they would stand.
“So, son” said the father expecting.
The lesson his son surely learned.
“What do you say to those sweeties?”
The boy thought for a minute then said....
“OK, I'll have a Mars bar instead.”
Thanks for the pic TF, the weather over here has got warmer. Ann says thanks for the show pic and she agrees with me that it's best looked at onTV
my wife says she loves to see snow and always hopes for it every winter, but we rarely get it. i love looking at snow too, on TV or on a post card. wrap up warm my friends.
hey Joey, I feel your pain. I once enjoyed a libation or two a few years ago, average night (with the band) half bottle of Napoleons finest with several pints of Australia's best amber nectar. What got me to calm down was having to face down a couple of coppers that stopped me for speeding after downing lots of port and brandy. I'd began the night with 2 pints of lager and that's all I told the police I'd had!!! Hard to believe but they believed me, just giving me a warning about speeding thanks to whoever is watching over me. I've heard the "gypsy's" warning (as my mother used to say) and now I have a drink or two but not when I'm driving. I know it's not the same thing, but if your mind and will are strong you will do it.

Never mind how they think of these things....how do they get them to work?
JUST HYSTERICAL. So glad I got up early
25 out of 30. There were quite a few songs I'd never heard of so I only got them if I recognised the others.
Thanks Jim, I love quizzes, clears the cobwebs first thing in the morning....
Very good Jim, a little work needed on the frazing otherwise a cracking song. I imagined it a little rockier in a country rock style. Another winner.
Phill.
WELL BILL IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK.
I second that emoticon. Come on Bill we all miss ya! I keep meaning to email you but there's always something else cropping up. I hope it's not me that's upset you? And I'm sure whatever it is can be resolved.
Your friend and biggest Welsh fan
Phill
another great loss. i remember him in concert with family one of my late 60's early 70's favourite bands. he also played a mean violin. RIP
